I live very near the rail tracks under consideration for sale to CNR. I daily cross at one crossing and regularly cross at least 3 additional crossings. All are at grade. All are busy every day of the week, especially at rush hours. Thousands of cars cross each daily. Children are bussed from both sides of the tracks to school. Two hospitals with very busy ER's serve people on both sides. If the number of trains increases, even to the minimum number expected, our entire community and those around us will be very negatively impacted. Our area will become gridlock! Traffic is bad enough as it is now. If trains block the arteries several times a day, travel & commuting will become unmanagable and more awful than it is now. I implore you to stop the sale of the railroad to CNR.
